Our life is wonderfully imperfect. We have been married 6 wonderful and crazy life-changing years. We're complete opposites and balance each other out on a daily basis. He keeps me grounded and I keep him guessing. We depend on God daily and are very aware of just how short life can be and are trying our best to Enjoy Every Moment!

Roo is our 6 year old son. He has a wild imagination and loves Star Wars. He fills his days with x-fighters and blasters. He is in Kindergarten and is well known for his spikey hair, which he does himself :)

Our 3 year old is fearless and free-spirited. She has a mind of her own and just loves life. She has had several health problems in her short life but has never let it slow her down. She loves stuffed animals, climbing anything, and taking things away from her big brother.

We have cute kids. Every once in a while they can actually be kind and loving to one another like in this photo. Of course we have to force em to be that way. :-) What is more amazing is that they can wake up early, tear open gifts, play with those gifts, goof around, not take a nap, and still...still be wired up and not be tired.

I guess I'll just go back to relaxing and sipping on my hot apple cider.

I know I'm a little late in posting these, better late than never I suppose. We went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate her birthday. Mom was even well enough to go. She invited a couple little girls she likes and Ruben of course. She has a blast. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked but we made a lot memories.

My baby is 3, I still haven't wrapped my head around that one yet.

She was not happy to see Chucky at first but in Daddy's arms she was OK with him.

It's time again to join Pam and reflect upon the moments we will miss the most since time seems to be moving at warp speed these days.

We have a wood burning stove in our family room (well it's our old family room, that now belongs to my mom and aunt).I hated that stove when we first moved in because it took up too much room. I had plans in my head of taking it out someday, but after the ice storm in Jan. the wood burning stove saved us when we were without electricity for three days.

So it will be part of our family as long as we are here.

Jose brought wood from outside this weekend and the kids ran to help him and actually carried a lot of wood in. They thought helping Daddy was the coolest thing ever. I'm positive that will not always be the case and I'm gonna miss that.

These days it's hard dealing with my medical issues and trying to make sure the kids have a normal life. I want to make memories with them and I don't want them to just remember that I was in bed all the time.

So I've made a promise to myself that I would continue to do all the holiday traditions that we have always done even if it means I'm in bed for the rest of the day or days.

Marissa was all about digging in the pumkins, while Roo would not get his hands dirty in any way.
